Elements of Enterprise CI

Elements of Enterprise CI

- Heard where people were coming from
 - some people had scrum is evil issues
- people saw benefit in prioritisation and categorising CI changes in their organisation
- some people felt the need to distinguish between Agile technical and non-technical practices in the discussion
- discussion ensued for a while about needing 'rapid and frequent builds'

People raised the list from http://www.noop.nl/2009/04/the-big-list-of-agile-practices.html ---

Discussion

Discusssion ensued about lengthy builds.

Discussion went onto the auditability of process - about perfect reproducability of process.

Went onto discussion of where people where at on building - 20% were on Novice and 20% on Intermediate. (Rest didn't give an answer)
